The purpose of the Foundation is to help individuals and communities in India to break the cycle of poverty which prevents them from reaching their full potential.
The main activity of the Foundation is to raise funds to support the grassroots work of Shanti Sahyog India. These projects focus on: access to education and health care, provide legal aid and counseling, offer skill development and empower women. We do this by applying for grants from fund providing organizations and businesses. Any grants received are invested directly in projects in India by Shanti Sahyog India. The operational costs for the Foundation are borne by the three board members.
The Board comprises: Prajna Khanna (Chair), Gerald Naber (Treasurer) and Jessica De Boer (Secretary). All three board members are volunteers and do not receive compensation for their work for the Foundation.
In 2015 our main focus is to set up the Foundation in the Netherlands and get the required processes in place to get the charity tax status from the Dutch government. Other than this, we also made requests for small grants at several funds in the Netherlands.
